Abstract

A method and apparatus for measuring gas flow in a conduit includes the steps of providing a plurality of gas flow measuring devices, positioning the gas flow measuring devices at a plurality of positions in the conduit, and substantially simultaneously measuring the gas flow at each position. A gas flow measuring apparatus includes a plurality of flow-measuring probes, each probe including one or more gas flow measuring devices, a separate pressure transducer connected to each probe, a data logger connected to the transducers, and a computer connected to the data logger.
